Gooday Oleg,
I have changed nothing at all...since you last looked at it for me, for which I thank you.
I left in on overnight hoping it would restart but nothing happened.
The only way I can restart it is to click on Configeration wait a little while , then click Crawling again...it will crawl sometimes 20,60 or 100 then stop again.
Eventually have got the xml file but it is taking forever with this method.
Bob
